Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: 6 volt rectifier tubes

The geetar amps I have built were light weight SE KT66 with E-Linear front ends that were quite happy with 5V4GA. At the time I happened to have quite a supply of them. The 6CA4 were not so plentiful, and the TX's had 5V heater windings, so the 5V4 got the job. For everything else, I prefer the single diode, dampers of various flavours.

I neglected another, more comparable to 6CA4, and that is type 6754. One of the Hy-G-300 Red Bank Bendix tubes.
cheers,
Douglas
